Course objectives
The course uses the knowledge and skills acquired in the course Introduction to Didactics of Human, Nature and Society Didactics. During the individual seminars the students acquaint themselves with the key topics of nature education, especially with the most common preconceptions and misconceptions, suitable and problematic examples of selected concepts, phenomena and processes. Seminars include demonstrations of proven algoheuristic practices and a discussion of their effectiveness and implementation in the school environment.
At the end of the course the student will be able to:
- transforming selected natural sciences content into a curriculum using the appropriate teaching methods, forms and means
- identifying problematic areas of nature education, is aware of the continuity in the course across the course, but also the inter-subject relations
- by appropriate diagnostic tools to verify the pupils' preconceptions, knowledge and skills, to take into account the findings of these findings in their teaching
- critically evaluate and use appropriately the didactic resources available (textbooks, worksheets, texts, pictures, etc.) for the teaching of nature topics and to select or prepare such courses
Didactic means that are both theoretical and didactical - To explain the problem concepts, phenomena and processes to choose appropriate examples and algoheuristic procedures
- in their teaching to observe the didactic principles, especially the regional and phenological principle
